thankyou Ginny my grandad will be very pleased with this!!!

is that all it says about john mcduff that he was a miner??? does it mention any children at all??

Ive added the address to the posting.

I dont know about Oz records but would have thought children under 18 wouldnt have been included on the electoral role?

Try adding 'Australia' to your thread title as we have some excellent Ozzy researches that know far more than me!

thankyou so much!!!

McDuff family that moved to Austrailia in 1951 can anyone help me find any infomation about the family???

Is it info before or after 1951 that you want? If before, you would need to find their births. This could be John's:

Births Dec 1922 (>99%)
McDuff John Cowell Preston 8e 679

and this Marjorie's:

Births Jun 1921 (>99%)
BOLTON Marjorie Willan Bolton 8c 688

You should be able to find marriages for the parents on freebmd.

I would like to know if they had anymore chilldren that would have been born in austrailia and if there is any death records for them

Rebecca

nudge this thread up before you go to bed as the Ozzy gang might see it and be able to help

thankyou for the tip Ginny!!

Is there any researchers from Australia that can help me find information about John McDuff 1922 and his family please help

Hi Rebecca,

Births online in New South Wales only to 1909

Deaths to 1979

??Possible deaths

If you get the death certificate of John, it should have details of any children born, plus a number of other details.

If you decide to get any certificates, go to

www.joymurrin.com.au

you will get them cheaper

thankyou very much this is not the right John McDuff his father was called James McDuff and his mother was caled Emily. Majorie could be right cause i dont yet know her parents names will have to look into it

Rebecca,

There are no other deaths for John McDuff up to 1979. Just a query does John have a 2nd name?

i will have a look for you thanks

His birth record just says John McDuff, he must have been still alive in 1979 then cause he would only have been about 57 years old
